This invention relatesV to the'armoring of brasses or steps for bearings. i

4The attempts which have beenmade to cast iron orsteel jackets upon the youter sur' faces of brasses or steps for bearings have Y to a large extent been unsuccessfnlovving to the fact that the metal or alloyjof which the brasses or steps areformed; f orinstance gun-V metal or bronze, Yhas 'a lower melting point than iron or steelandthere Was a tendencyv for the molten iron or'steel ask it fiowedf'mto y the mould containing the brass or',s tep to be;

jacketed, to melt the thinner portions-of such the steel jacket Was traversedby veins of gunr j be able to carry the load; lThese unsuccessp f Wardsthe comparatively thin downwardlyi extending legs ofthe brasses were sometimes :l

Moreoverr the backs of the brasses did not readily-Weld or become unitedvvith the steel. v,Even fin y vcases Where the brassesfwere suspended lin' molten steel bef-ore ,reaching-these upper parts had to traverse a longy and deviouscast-V [L: ing gutter or channel ywhich enteredl tlie,

'- the mould Withtheir backs facing down-`r Wardly, auniform surface `Weld orburning i' on could not be obtained. Eitherthebacksj of the brasses were melted or thejupWa-rdly extendinglegs 'of the brass could notabe caused to yWeld or ybecomef'united with the steelv owing, probably, tothe fact thatthe mould cavity at the bottom and tothe tend# ency of the lupper ends of the steel jackets diverge'away from the Walls of theibrass.`
